Space Foundation Certifies A Prayer Rug
Space Technology Unlocks Ancient Rituals through Innovation, Space Foundation
“Technology originally used in space can now help you meditate with ease. TIMEZ5 Global Inc. is the newest partner in the Space Foundation Space Certification program. After five years of intensive research and development, TIMEZ5 labs made startling discoveries in the connection between rituals, spirituality and physiology. They unlocked physiological practices that improve the physical and spiritual wellbeing through meditation. Through the development of ergonomics, biomechanics and physiology, coupled with space technology, the company’s flagship product was born. The world’s first physiological prayer mat uses sophisticated space and layering technology. All it takes is the counter-force of your body and it activates. The magic happens in the middle layers where it responds to body weight, posture and position. It keeps the user stable through its micro grip, and clean with its antimicrobial surface.”
Keith’s note: People have been praying to God for millennia without a space-certified prayer rug. How much did Space Foundation charge to “certify” this rug? I’ll bet the cost for certification was the equivalent of a college education for someone.
They don’t say what their fees are:

But they do say that the money goes to support their programming:
“All fees sustain the vital efforts of the Space Certification Program and the Space Foundation’s Educational programs which support teachers and PreK-20 students using standards-based curriculum that integrate science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) into all content areas.”
The Foundation itself appears to be a project of what’s referred to as ‘old space’ these days. What’s your take on the value of the work that they do?
Ask them 1. how much they charge and 2. what percentage is actually spent on these programs. I doubt they will even respond.
Their 2013 990 tax form:

Their budget is about $8 million/year, of which about half goes to personnel expenses.
Education outreach & teacher training got $1,144,969 of their budget and brought in $261,403.
Space related public awareness programs (which sound like they include this branding project) cost them $1,084,241 and brought in $320,724 (which is where the fees would come in, I would think).
Industry symposia and events cost them $3,332,941 but brought in $5,563,989.
They spend $0 on professional fundraising.
I suppose it’s a tough world out there for Space-Related Nonprofits. You take your money when you can get it.
Wonder! Finally are certifying miracles! Let’s take a science bath in these wicked atheists!
The Space Foundation only got into the act because the “prayer” rug in question is actually an oriental magic carpet with interstellar capability. As you know, all magic carpets until now were restricted to the Earth’s atmosphere. The Space Foundation is thinking long term. Far out guys!!!
